30.11 No Thanksgiving Day for Caroline

24th of November Caroline sent one ARGOS position from the middle of the house in small Belgium town. We were a bit afraid that maybe he was about to become a lovely Thanksgiving dinner, but fortunately he is back on fields with other geese:) It was just an artefact from ARGOS location, uffff.  

30.11 Ingunn joined Caroline

Ingunn just flew to Belgium which is probably his final stop before winter. Caroline and Danuta are still in the areas where they were observed before.

22.11 Back to the 'right' track

Caroline crossed the french border and is now in Belgium. Danuta joined the others in Friesland. Still no news from Chris and Lukasz. So it looks like everything is going back to the right track...

Positions from 20.11

 Positions from today (22.11)

15.11 Bye, bye Denmark, welcome Carlsberg, Heineken and croissant

Caroline and Danuta left Filsø area in Denmark. Danuta (black) is now in Holland. This is not the area where Ingunn (red) and Christiane are but it is within a bridge distance. Caroline (blue) moved even further and jumped to... northern France. Lukasz is the only one left in DK but we haven't got any positions from his tag since 7th of November. Christiane is also 'silent' but was spotted by Fred Cottaar on 6th of November in Friesland, unfortunately without wife and kids. So Carlsberg for Lukasz, Heineken for Ingunn, Christiane and Danuta and ... croissant for Caroline

13.11 Resurrection of Gitte

Gitte lost its transmitter at the beginning of breeding season in Svalbard. Till now we did not know whether this goose lost the tag but lived happily after, or died in Svalbard. 12th of November it was seen near Arkum in Friesland so we know it is doing well. We wish him happy goose life

6.11 Like looking for a needle in a haystack...

Only Danuta and Ingunn are sending new positions: Danuta still from western Jutland and Ingunn from Netherlands. Thanx to Fred Cottaar from Netherlands we know that Ingunn is doing well and has family (was seen paired and with one gosling), what is a great news. I tried to find Danuta and Caroline in western DK last Friday, with no success. Maybe there are somewhere in this flock: (I vote for the third goose from the right, fourth from the bottom, top picture)....

1.11 Autumn melancholia

Ingunn is the only one sending gps uplinks. Together with Christiane are exploring the Dutch land.
Danuta and Caroline are still around Fil Sø and Lukasz north from Limfjorden. So... nihil novi sub sole in the geese world.
